O’Shaughnessy Ltd Insurance Brokers participated in the Bancroft & Area Lifestyle Home Show on June 11 to June 13, 2010. The Home Show provides an opportunity for the public to visit over 60 vendors that can provide all types of home building and renovations products. Our IBAO sponsored booth at the event offered draws for prizes which included a Blue Ray DVD player, lawn chairs and an digital photo album. Thanks to our insurers that donated the prices, pens and other items. A special thanks to Darren McCaskie, Bancroft’s personal lines producer who operated the booth. He was able to generate numerous leads from the event.
In conjunction with the IBAO, we donated 50 magenta blankets to the Bancroft Food Bank and Maggie’s Resource Centre, a safe home and community counselling program for women who are or have been in an abusive relationship. We then sold 50 of the IBAO blankets at the Home show with all proceeds going to the above charities.

On April 30/10 Shirley Langton said goodbye to her corner office, desk, co-workers and management and said hello to her gardens, grandchildren and retirement.
Shirley Langton had been a part of McDougall Insurance and Financial for 15 years and certainly her services did not go unseen. Within the final weeks of her employment she received various calls, gifts and well wishes from all of her co-workers, insurance company colleagues and clients.
A party was held at Dinkel’s Restaurant in her honor. The party included co-workers from past and present along with her closest of family and friends.
Shirley promises she won’t be a stranger and will make return visits to the office….we assume to pay her premium!
Enjoy retirement Shirley!
